Welcome to this timeless 3-bedroom, 1.5 bath single-family home, lovingly owned by the same family since 1920. Set on a generous 1.12-acre lot, this property offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of history with plenty of space and potential. Inside, you’ll find a spacious eat-in kitchen and a comfortable living room, ideal for everyday living and gatherings. The home features classic character throughout and is ready for your personal touch. A large enclosed porch provides a great space to relax and unwind, with access to a deck perfect for enjoying the outdoors. The expansive yard offers plenty of room for gardening, recreation, or future possibilities. Major updates have already been taken care of, including newer windows and roof (both 5 years old) and a furnace that is just 1 year old, offering peace of mind for years to come. A standout feature is the newer shed (less than 5 years old) with electricity—ideal for a workshop, hobby space, or “she shed. Great commuter location.
